We're a newly blended family, so it's sort of touch and go. I don't want to be pushy and overly gooey so I'm informally doing a weekend of over the top food and guy pampering.

I was thinking about getting him Machiavelli's "The Art of War" but I want to feel him out on that one and make sure he doesn't already have it, or that he would read it. I think he would read it? He'd probably read it. He was stoked one night when I printed out some stuff on the Hatfield/McCoy families so we could compare it to the show on the History Channel, and he's a veteran, so I'm thinkin he might dig it?

My Father is not in my life. I will be celebrating my husband, the father of my children and the best father I know. He will get cards made by the kids, some personalized gifts we are making, and his favorite meals.

My husband and I got my dad a new grill since his broke. We bring everything over to his house and he does the meat. He got the grill already so now we're just bringing dinner stuff on Sunday. Poor guy is all alone taking care of grandpa, so we do this every week, but for Father's day I'll bake dessert too.

For family issues I am not close with my father. The man who has stepped up and become the only father my daughter knows gets my applause.

As adults we get to build our family support system. Everyone who chooses to be a positive protector of the children who depend on him gets my hats off!

Yum! Sounds like a blast! I didn't ask about the books today, but watching my guy - we're weird, I'm his Old Lady, he's my Old Man; (I also call him Sir when I'm being sort of butt kissy.... lol) tromping around in his boots, took the trimmers to him this afternoon and he's gonna slick that head down shiny tonight before maybe going out tomorrow, and ohhhh yeah. I think the book is gonna be an epic win.

My dad has given me about a dozen shirts to mend/alter for him over the last year and they are all still in my closet
I'm about halfway through them now and plan to have them ready for father's day.
I also plan to be very grateful there is something I can do for him that isn't going to cost me $$$.

On another note, I am about two months pregnant and not sure if this means I should include my husband in this Father's Day??? Is there a Father's-To-Be day? Or a Thanks-For-Supporting-Your-Pregant-Wife Day?
